You don’t need acres of land or a green thumb to grow something tasty—just a sunny spot, a few pots, and a little curiosity.
Welcome to my new blog series where we take the mystery (and the misery!) out of growing herbs at home. Whether you’ve killed a cactus or you’re just tired of buying wilted basil at the grocery, this is for you.
We’re starting small—but powerful. These herbs pack a flavour punch and are surprisingly easy to grow, especially in containers. Perfect for balconies, patios, windowsills, or any little corner that gets some sun.
Here’s what we’ll be covering in the coming weeks:
-
Green onions (or chives, as we call them here)—the comeback kings of the herb world.
-
Parsley—flat or curly, this leafy green is more than a garnish.
-
Basil—easy, fast, and totally addictive once you start snipping.
-
Thyme—low effort, high reward.
-
Rosemary—fragrant, hardy, and makes you feel like a pro.
-
Mint—fresh, wild, and best kept in its own container unless you like herbal invasions.
-
And maybe, just maybe, we’ll explore chadon beni—our beloved Trini treasure.
Each post will give you the how, the why, and the when—plus quick tips, common issues, and ways to use your harvest. Expect a few handy printables, lots of photos, and a good dose of garden encouragement along the way.
So if you’ve ever wanted to grow your own flavour without drama, you’re in the right place.
Dust off those containers. The herb adventure starts now. 🌱
Happy Gardening!
